CONNOLLY RESIDENCE This summer and ski vacation escape for a Calgary family overlooks Lake Pend Oreille at Ponder Point east of Sandpoint. The 2 level house dug into the edge of a steep sloped 100 foot wide site uses the carefully stepped south facing design to fill each room with the solar heat of the winter sun and the impressive lake and mountain view of North Idaho. |
